Robert McDaid (born 1993) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Dublin SFC club Ballyboden St Enda's and at inter-county level with the Dublin senior football team. He usually lines out as a defender.

Career

McDaid played Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the Ballyboden St Enda's club. He eventually progressed onto the club's senior team and was selected at right wing-back when Ballyboden beat Castlebar Mitchels in the 2016 All-Ireland club final.[1] McDaid first appeared on the inter-county scene as captain of the Dublin minor football team that lost the 2011 All-Ireland minor final to Tipperary.[2] He later won an All-Ireland U21 Championship title in 2014.[3] McDaid was drafted onto the Dublin senior football team in 2015, however, he remained a member of the extended panel for a number of seasons. He won two All-Ireland Championship titles as a non-playing substitute in 2016 and 2019, before claiming his first winners' medal on the field of play in 2020.[4][5] McDaid has also won five Leinster Championships and two National League titles.
